KTM Tech3 Factory Racing 2022 MotoGP Leather Racing Suit

The KTM Tech3 Factory Racing 2022 MotoGP Leather Racing Suit is finished in the KTM Tech3 colours from the 2022 season of MotoGP.

This suit reproduces that design in full-grain cowhide, cut to your own measurements, with CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows, knees and back. It suits track days, circuit riding, fast road use and collectors who want the livery made properly rather than printed onto a thin shell.

Outer Shell

• Full-grain cowhide leather, 1.3–1.4 mm, for high abrasion resistance — kangaroo 0.8–0.9 mm available as an upgrade
• KTM Tech3 team colours reproduced in leather patchwork, cut and stitched from coloured hide so the design cannot crack, peel or fade like print
• Pre-curved sleeves and legs with race-fit ergonomic panelling for a natural riding position
• Triple safety stitching throughout with high-strength bonded nylon thread
• Original YKK zippers at the front, sleeve cuffs and ankles
• Kevlar stretch panels at the crotch, behind the calves and under the sleeves
• Accordion leather stretch across the lower back and above the knees for a forward racing crouch
• Reinforced leather at the shoulders, elbows, forearms, hips, knees and lower legs
• External CE certified protectors over the shoulders, elbows and knees
• Removable external knee sliders with hook-and-loop attachment

Inner Shell

• Removable CE Level 2 shoulder, elbow and knee armour certified to EN 1621-1:2012
• Dedicated back protector compartment with a removable CE Level 2 protector certified to EN 1621-2:2014
• Breathable 100% polyester mesh lining for airflow and moisture management
• Two internal pockets for phone, wallet and small essentials
• Fully safety stitched interior
• Removable internal lining available as an optional upgrade

Size and Fit

Cut to a close, performance-focused racing fit. Review the full size chart before selecting a standard size, or send your body measurements for the tailor-made option at no extra cost.

A new suit should feel firm standing upright and correct once you are sitting on the bike. Full-grain leather relaxes and moulds to you over the first few rides. Fit is a safety feature, not a preference: a loose suit lets armour migrate off the joint it protects during a crash. Riders wanting more room through the chest, waist or legs should choose a regular or relaxed fit rather than a race fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What armour does this suit use?
CE Level 2 at every position — back to EN 1621-2:2014, and shoulders, elbows and knees to EN 1621-1:2012 — tested and certified by Ricotest, European Notified Body No. 0498, Pastrengo, Italy.

Can you match my KTM’s exact colour?
Yes. Send a photograph or the paint reference and the leather is dyed to match as closely as hide allows. KTM shades in particular are hard to reproduce in generic coloured leather, which is why custom matching is offered.

How should I care for a leather race suit?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and use a proper leather conditioner when the hide feels dry. Never machine wash, tumble dry or bleach it. Remove the armour and lining before any deep clean, dry it naturally away from direct heat, and store it on a wide hanger.

Can I order this livery in different colours?
Yes. Any design here can be produced in a completely custom colourway, or as a personal design on the same panel layout. See custom made suits and jackets.

Is a one piece or two piece suit safer?
At sustained racing speeds a one piece has the edge, because there is no waist join that can separate. With a full 360-degree connecting zip the difference at road speeds is small. Armour and leather specification are identical between the two.

Can I use this suit on the road as well as the track?
Yes. The specification is the same either way. A one piece is less convenient off the bike, so riders splitting their time between road and track often prefer the two piece version of the same livery.

Should I choose cowhide or kangaroo leather?
Kangaroo at 0.8–0.9 mm gives comparable abrasion resistance to cowhide at 1.3–1.4 mm for noticeably less weight, which is why most professional racers use it. Full-grain cowhide is harder wearing over many seasons and costs less.
